Not long after Saweetie issued her statement about their elevator altercation, Quavo has come forward with one of his own. It’s unknown how long the pair have been apart, but they only recently revealed that they were no longer together. Saweetie publicly accused her Migos ex of cheating on her, and Quavo responded that he wasn’t pleased with her public approach to their breakup. This week, the talk of social media was the infamous video that shows the former couple physically fighting over a bag or case, and Saweetie surfaced to share that the incident occurred sometime last year.

“This unfortunate incident happened a year ago,” she said in a statement. “While we have reconciled since then and moved past this particular disagreement, there were simply too many other hurdles to overcome in our relationship and we have both since moved on.” Now, Quavo has acknowledged the incident publicly with a brief message he shared with TMZ.

“We had an unfortunate situation almost a year ago that we both learned and moved on from,” he said. “I haven’t physically abused Saweetie and have real gratitude for what we did share overall.” This incident has been met with mixed responses in the Rap community as several artists have come forward to share their opinions.

At this point, it’s almost becoming a game to guess how long it takes for Instagram to delete Boosie Badazz’s profile. The rapper has been at odds with the popular social media platform and for over a year, Boosie has called out Mark Zuckerberg for allowing his pages to be axed from the system. In this latest round, it was reported that Boosie was dropped from Instagram after he paid a man over $500 to slap him as hard as he could, and while that may be offensive to some, it’s a far cry from the nearly naked women who used to show off all their goodies on Boosie’s infamous Instagram Lives.

Boosie recently filmed himself issuing a call to the Black billionaires for help in creating a platform much like Instagram but with less regulation. “Start y’all own Instagram. Let me get part in the ownership. Let me be the face of it,” said Boosie. “I’mma run that motherf*cka. That’s what y’all need to do. All the billionaires—I ain’t got the money. I ain’t got the money. I’m tryin’ to work on an app right now… I gotta figure it out.”

He continued to petition the rich and elite of the Black community with a similar message on Twitter. “INSTAGRAM IS RACIST(FACTS)#BLACK BILLIONAIRES LETS START OUR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA N LET ME RUN IT #takeawaytheypower THEY MAKE THEY MONEY OFF US [man shrugging emoji]WITH R WITHOUT YALL IM GO FIND AWAY.”

Boosie has repeatedly accused Zuckerberg and Instagram of racial discrimination, citing that influencers with risqué content are allowed to remain on the platform while he gets banned. Check out Boosie’s posts below and let us know if you’d sign up for an Instagram-ish app with Boosie as the spokesperson.

The relationship between Stevie J and Faith Evans surprised fans considering the megaproducer’s lifestyle. The world tuned in weekly to watch Stevie J’s antics on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, including the dissolution of his long-standing relationship with Mimi Faust, the mother of his daughter, and his affair with Joseline Hernandez, who he would later have a daughter with. The chaos that ensued on reality television didn’t paint the producer in a positive light, but Faith Evans, a longtime friend of Stevie’s, saw beyond the playboy persona.

Soon, there was news that Stevie and Faith wed in a quickie ceremony in Las Vegas, and the pair reflected on their relationship on an episode of Behind Every Man. Faith admitted that she was initially apprehensive about entering into a relationship with Stevie J because he had a tendency to keep his exes on the back burner.

“I wasn’t quite sure whether or not he was still involved with this ex,” Faith said in a clip of the episode. “So, you know when you kind of told me you guys weren’t together and then shortly thereafter finding out that you still kinda were, I think that’s probably when I stepped away because I’m not a man stealer, a homewrecker, you know.”

She told him from the start that she wasn’t going to be a side chick nor would she tolerate him with other women, so she backed off and let Stevie handle his business. “It was way too much for me,” Faith added. “This was the main thing, if you’re not really serious, please don’t do this to our friendship.”

The pair have been friends for decades as Stevie J has produced records for Faith, Faith’s late husband The Notorious B.I.G., Diddy, 112, SWV, Jay-Z, Lil Kim, Boyz II Men, and LL Cool J. Watch the clip of Behind Every Man below.

She’s continued to communicate with her fans on social media, but many have noticed that Megan Thee Stallion’s online presence has shifted ever since she went public with her new relationship. The Houston Hottie has been exchanging sweet nothings with Pardison Fontaine, and once the couple shared their love with the world, they haven’t been able to stop posting about the other.

Fontaine was Megan’s biggest supporter when she recently took home her three Grammy wins weeks ago and it seems that they’ve been inseparable. Today (April 1), Megan shared that her romance with Fontaine has helped her grow as a person because, in the past, she may have been a tad reckless with how she spoke to her significant other.

“Pardi really showed me what it’s like to respect your partner … bc i used to be talking to people CRAZYYYY [crying laughing emoji],” she tweeted. “My boyfriend let’s me be me bc he confident I ain’t going no where … I like that.” Prior to her relationship with Fontaine, Megan had a public romance with Moneybagg Yo and it was rumored that she and Tory Lanez were seeing each other before the July 2020 shooting incident. Check out a few posts below.

If there’s one thing Yung Joc will do, is try out a trend regardless of the opinions of others. When he straightened his hair years ago and styled it in a 1950s-esque pompadour, the internet lit up with jokes and memes about the Atlanta rapper, and after he debuted his fake lace beard this week, social media was back at it. Before and after photos of Joc made the rounds and he returned to give the world a better look at his new style.

“Put your face on Live for a thousand dollars,” Joc joked in the clip, imitating Boosie Badazz’s famous line. Joc  pretends to shave it off but ultimately determined that it will stay for the time being. This may be the first time that some people have seen beards such as this, but the lace movement tapped into this long ago. Men have been wearing lace beards for years, and balding men have hit salons for their lace front waves, dreads, and afro styles. One rapper who has often talked about his wigs is Tekashi 6ix9ine who wears his hair proudly.

Check out more from Yung Joc and his new beard below, and rummage through more photos and videos of men embracing the lace front lifestyle.

He’s had quite a bit to say about Saweetie and Quavo’s breakup, and Akademiks isn’t letting up. After calling their relationship “toxic and abusive asf,” Akademiks hopped on Twitch to spill the details regarding the infamous elevator fight video that has been circulating this week. In the clip of an incident that reportedly occurred at an apartment complex last year, viewers can see the Rap couple arguing over a bag. The violent tug has polarized both fans and the industry, and artists like Trouble and Boosie Badazz have vocalized they’re sticking by Quavo’s side.

“TMZ didn’t have this video in the tuck. Someone shopped this video to TMZ recently. They paid between like, approximately fifty to one hundred thousand dollars,” said Akademiks. “If they had this video all along, it would have dropped. They just got this video. Why would this video just automatically come out now. Why now?! Who would this benefit?! We have to ask these questions because, again, while we’re not—I wanna be very delicate. We always will side with a victim but we won’t ever ignore the possibility where someone’s trying to run with a narrative.”

“And Saweetie, it appears that you’re trying to do so,” Akademiks continued. “I think she put this video into the ecosphere and said, “N*ggas gon’ call this n*gga an abuser, yeah.’ You know why? ‘Cause after she told the world he cheated, people were still split half and half.” He added that even if Quavo was unfaithful, he doesn’t believe that Saweetie should have “violated” him on Respectfully Justin with her answer about threesomes.

Check out Akademiks’s controversial take below and let us know if you agree or disagree with him.
